do VOiP?

@Can It 

I'm sure it can - the real question is - will the operators of the networks allow a phone that does voip? (At least in the US)

Not the best use of accelerometers 

If I wanted to track my movements I wouldn't use a phone, I would embed the accelerometer into a wristband or a belt, then bluetooth the feed to the phone for interacting with the maps. Combining this technology with belts, wrist and ankle bands could give me telepresence.

By the way 

Get them to trace a U on the screen for unlock; easier, and makes more sense!

I understood from the article that it was customisable. Which is probably better, because I doubt that the Japanese/Suomi/Zulu word for unlck starts with the letter 'U'.
